About
This BBQ joint is a local favorite for many, with fans praising the tender rib tips and flavorful sauce. However, there is a significant divide in customer experience; many report extremely long wait times, rude service, and inconsistent food quality. It seems to be a 'love it or hate it' place, with some customers swearing by it and others vowing never to return.
